    how to get Hik ColorVu to work with Amcrest NVR?

    alright, i finally got it working. the hardest part was getting the camera activated with SADP tool. weird that the program refused to work though. then i had to use MS Edge to directly log into the cam's ip address to configure everything. Firefox didnt even work.
